CPE launches new certification program aimed at helping train a culturally competent workforce - Northern Kentucky Tribune

The Council on Postsecondary Education has launched a new process to review and certify cultural competency credential programs offered by Kentucky colleges and universities. The Cultural Competency Credential Certification Program was unveiled at the Council’s 2021 Higher EDquity Symposium hosted by Western Kentucky University. “Being able to effectively communicate with those from different backgrounds, appreciating intersectionality and being open to diverse perspectives are essential skills for today’s workforce,” said Dawn Offutt, CPE’s executive director of initiatives for diversity, equity and inclusion. “This statewide certification process is a way to ensure Kentucky students, faculty and staff at our public colleges and universities are getting high-quality, consistent opportunities to develop well-defined competencies.”
